Made a lemon pistachio loaf and a molten chocolate cake. The loaf was a complete disaster, wouldn’t even get out of the pan. Straight to the garbage you go!

The molten chocolate cake was alright, but won’t be made again. I’m looking at the list in my Recipes page, and there are so many lovely creations there. But nobody sees the tenfold of disasters (or simply mediocre dishes), that ended up in the trashcan.

I also made couscous with fresh tomatoes and feta cheese. It was quite nice, and a welcomed savoury break from a sweets-oriented afternoon.

I hear things at night, foot steps,the ticking clock,my mother sighing. I want to make things better but don’t know how. Perhaps I do, but won’t. The older I get, the more I realize, Things are not what they appear.

Syrniki

450g Tvorog

2 eggs

2 Tbsp oil

4 Tbsp sugar

3/4 cup AP flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

2 tsp vanilla

1/4 tsp lemon extract

1/4 cup raisins

In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients together. Form the mixture into patties the size of a child’s fist. Pat it in flour from all sides and set aside.

Heat some butter in a pan and once ready, fry the syrniki, until brown from both sides. Roll in sugar from both sides and let cool so the cheese will stiffen a bit.
